Manchester City have launched football's most astonishing transfer bid – a world record £100m cash offer to Milan for Kaka, which City were highly confident last night would succeed in bringing the Brazilian to Eastlands.

Will Kaka go. Will City succeed. Is the footballing World gone bonkers. Maybe Kaka will go, then Panaltino will say...Kaka is there so Il go. Its like if someone tells you.......UBG is modelling for GUESS, Then everyone will want to model for Guess

Kaka has revealed that he turned down a projected move to Manchester City that was believed to be worth £100 million.

After the playmaker's representatives refused to rule out such a move, with Kaka's agent stating that a move to City "wasn't impossible", the Brazilian himself seems to have quashed all possibility of such a move.

Kaka told website Mediaset that he wanted to stay in Serie A, claiming: "I want to grow old at AC Milan."

Such a statement is bound to disappoint all at City, who were hoping that the Brazilian superstar's capture would be a real signal of intent in this winter's transfer window.

However, the Blues are not currently playing Champions League football, and nor does that look likely for a while yet, and even the presence of fellow Brazilians such as Robinho does not adequately compensate for battling relegation this season.

Kaka's representatives have also revealed that he will not be motivated by money, which doesn't play to City's current great strength: unimaginable wealth.

Mark Hughes is certainly discovering that such wealth creates its own problems as City have struggled to add to their capture of Wayne Bridge from Chelsea last week.
